Another MI farmer fighting for his right to farm

[jayhawk]

This one isn't quite as sensational as the Baker's Green Acres (vs. the MI DNR) story, but it still might be interesting to a few folks here:

Shady Grove Farm, owned and operated by the Buchler family in Gwinn, MI, is in a legal battle with the Forsyth Township over zoning regulations and the right to farm. While there are definitely two sides to this disagreement, the implications are interesting as urban farming and interest in self-sustainability is on the rise.

I watched the video, and I truly hope they win. We're losing farm land all over the place where I live, and it's sad to see.
